Roasted Sweeties

It's snowing here in the beautiful land of Massachusetts. My kids are always hungry. And by that I mean ALWAYS! So I must feed them every few hours but every calorie counts with their quickly growing bodies that fill up and empty out quickly. So today we are roasting chick peas the sweet way. Here is the recipe:

2 can chick peas drained and dried very well
Shakes of cinnamon and nutmeg
Drizzle of agave nectar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425! Drain and dry chick peas. Put in plastic bag and shake in some cinnamon and nutmeg. Drizzle some agave.... Not much (like a tablespoon tops). Shake bag or better yet get your little monkeys to shake it! Place chickpeas in single layer on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake 15 min stirring often. Keep checking and stirring gently until they are crispy and yummy. Eat and enjoy your power snack! Great in salads and wraps too! My kids love them!

And a huge thank you to Matt for reminding me that chick peas are good roasted the sweet way (and for a fabulous dinner!). My favorite way to roast them is with chili powder, and cumin but its way too spicy for my kids. They love them the sweet way!
